Happy 3.14, fellow nerds! I learned this year that today is also Albert Einstein’s birthday. It’s a Pi Day miracle! For all you nerds & non-nerds alike, here’s another tasty post from my good friend Momo. Tell me I’m not the only one drooling over these photos!

Even though I know Catherine LOVES this holiday, she was nice enough to let me share a recipe for Pi day. So here is a delicious Peanut Butter 3.14 to celebrate this fun holiday!

This is a recipe I tweaked from the New Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook to resemble the amazing Peanut Butter Torte they used to serve at the Skyroom when Lisa and I worked there.

Start with a graham cracker pie crust, either purchased, or even better, this recipe made in a 9″ springform pan:

1/3 cup butter

¼ cup sugar

1 ¼ cups finely crushed graham crackers

Melt butter, stir in sugar. Add crushed crackers, toss to mix well. Spread evenly into a 9 inch springform pan (a pie pan will also work). Press onto bottom and sides to form an even crust. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 4-5 minutes or until edge is slightly browned, and cool on wire rack before filling.

Then mix up this creamy filling and try not to eat it all out of the bowl:

Today is my son’s birthday. I never knew that it was Pi day and Albert Einstein’s bday as well. Totally made his day. . . and from the looks of his hair this morning, I am pretty sure he is channeling Albert.

I remember celebrating pi day in high school. I kind of forgot it existed. I will be making a healthy pumpkin pie sometime this week and posting it to my blog. Wish I had realized it earlier so I could have done it for today.

love meeting another pi day celebrator! When I lived on a farm in New England it was a great excuse to clean out some still-frozen fruit from the summer before, now I’m living in Central America i’m thinking, banana pineapple cream?

Graham crackers are biscuits made with graham (whole wheat) flour & honey. Because of the whole wheat flour, they’re a little bit heartier than most biscuits. So yes, you can definitely use vanilla biscuits (especially if you can find some flavored with honey), but the crust’s texture will be a little different. Thanks for visiting!

I’ve never been to Australia so I’m not sure what you have available, but a European replacement that I have found are Leibniz whole wheat butter biscuits. I think those actually taste better! Hopefully you can find something that will work!

This is my next dessert!!! I just made a similar concoction for my birthday instead of caske. Only it was with fresh strawberries. I think this may be a good choice for my husband’s birthday…we LOVE penut butter and chocolate! 🙂 Easy and great recipe….congrats on Freshly Pressed!! Well Done and yummy!

congratulations on being Freshly Pressed Yay ! Thank you for sharing this marvelous recipe. Just looking at the picture of this pie is making my mouth water. I’m a sucker for sweets so much so that it should be a crime.
